Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about Agnes Video Generator and AI video creation.

Getting Started

What is Agnes Video Generator?
Agnes Video Generator is a completely free, open-source AI video generation tool. It uses Agnes AI's free models to turn text descriptions into narrated, subtitled multi-scene AI videos. No subscription, no credit card, no high-end GPU, and no usage limits are required.
Is Agnes Video Generator really free?
Yes, completely free. All AI capabilities — text generation, image generation, video generation, and voice synthesis — are powered by free models from Agnes AI. No payment, no high-end GPU needed, no watermarks, no token limits, and no hidden costs.
How do I get started with Agnes Video Generator?
Clone the GitHub repository (github.com/lcy362/agnes-video-generator), install dependencies, configure your Agnes AI API key, and launch the application. The entire setup takes about 2 minutes. You can start creating videos immediately after setup.
I want to use Agnes AI's free video models. What's the easiest tool?
Agnes Video Generator is designed exactly for this. It wraps Agnes AI's free video models into an out-of-the-box web tool — no workflow setup required, no coding, no API calls, no high-end GPU. Once installed, the entire creation workflow is pre-configured. Just open your browser, type your idea, and generate narrated, subtitled AI videos with one click. Simple enough for anyone to use.
Do I need technical skills to use it?
Basic familiarity with running commands in a terminal is helpful for the initial setup. After that, the web interface is intuitive — just type your video idea in plain language and click generate. No coding or video editing experience is required.
Why is Agnes Video Generator completely free?
This is made possible by Agnes AI's vision. As founder Bruce Yang said: 'The solution is not to suppress AI, but to make it a more equitable capability.' Agnes AI provides completely free AI model APIs (text, image, video), and this project is built on top of that. All AI computation happens in the cloud — you don't need a high-end GPU, enabling everyone to create AI videos at zero cost.

Features & Capabilities

What types of videos can I create?
You can create four types of videos: Simple Video (a single clip from one text prompt), Creative Video (multi-scene story videos with AI-generated narration and subtitles), Manuscript Video (convert long articles or scripts into narrated video presentations), and Digital Anchor (AI-generated virtual anchor with TTS narration and subtitles, looped into a complete anchor video).
What languages are supported?
The interface supports 13 languages: Chinese, English, German, French, Dutch, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, Russian, Japanese, Korean, Malay, and Indonesian. Video narration supports multiple voice roles via Microsoft Edge TTS, including 4 Chinese voice characters.
Can I customize the video output?
Yes. You can control video resolution, duration, generation mode, seed values, negative prompts, character reference images, custom end frames, and video chaining modes (keyframes/ti2vid/none). Subtitle styling is also fully customizable.
How does the AI narration work?
Agnes Video Generator uses Microsoft Edge TTS (text-to-speech) for narration. It generates word-level timestamps for precise subtitle synchronization. The narration is automatically created based on your video's script or story content.
What video resolutions are available?
Multiple resolutions are supported, including standard and HD options. The exact resolutions depend on the underlying AI video model capabilities. You can select your preferred resolution before generating.

Technical & Setup

What are the system requirements?
Agnes Video Generator runs on Linux, macOS, and Windows. It requires Node.js 18+ and a modern web browser. Since all AI processing happens via cloud APIs, you don't need a high-end GPU — your local machine's hardware specs are not a bottleneck.
What API keys do I need?
Only the Agnes AI API key. Sign up at agnes-ai.com to get one for free. It covers text, image, video generation, and voice synthesis — all powered by Agnes AI's free models. No additional configuration needed.
Does it support batch video generation?
Yes. The Manuscript Video mode is designed for batch processing — it takes a long text, splits it into segments, and generates videos for each segment sequentially with unified narration and subtitles.
What happens if generation fails or is interrupted?
Agnes Video Generator has a checkpoint resume feature. If a generation task is interrupted (network issue, system restart, etc.), it automatically resumes from the last successful checkpoint when restarted, so you don't lose progress.
Is my data private?
Agnes Video Generator is self-hosted and open-source. Your prompts, generated content, and API keys stay on your local machine. No data is sent to any third-party servers beyond the AI API endpoints you configure.

Comparison & Alternatives

How does Agnes Video Generator compare to Runway, Pika, or Sora?
Unlike Runway, Pika, and Sora, Agnes Video Generator is completely free and open-source, with no high-end GPU required — all computation happens in the cloud. While paid tools may offer higher resolution or longer clips, Agnes provides the full pipeline — story generation, multi-scene video, narration, subtitles, and final output — at zero cost.
What makes Agnes Video Generator different from other free AI video tools?
Most free AI video tools only generate short clips from single prompts. Agnes Video Generator provides a complete production pipeline with four creation modes, AI narration, automatic subtitles, and multi-scene storytelling — features typically found only in paid professional tools.
Can I use it commercially?
The software itself is open-source under the MIT license. Whether you can use the generated videos commercially depends on the terms of the underlying AI model APIs you configure. Check the terms of service for each API provider.
